Hey now... I just work here. I dont make the policies, I just have to enforce them. This is the flat fee across the board with my company, unless certain laws say otherwise state to state.

Im asking because rule I enforce is that they’re responsible for the entire term, which can be astronomical if you leave 6 months in. If the average rent is $1600 then that would be 2 months rent and that’s fair. But if the average rent is like $1000 that’s steep lol

If they have to break a lease with us we need the 60 day notice, they pay back any concession fees and they are basically on the hook for all rent until we rerent the unit for them. Don’t let anyone just walk away if it hasn’t been re-rented. But we are usually very good at getting them rented quickly.

Our lease says a 30 day notice responsible for the remaining months on lease until its re-rented. The resident will be billed for these remaining months of the lease & sent to collections. When it's re-rented a revision is done and sent to the collection agency with adjustment & billed any utilities (gas & electric) that we incurred while it was vacant. Of course military deployment/reassignment are exempt as well as domestic violence victims.

How do you handle it if they have recieved a free rent special (ex. 1 month free prorated). Do they pay the prorated special in addition to the 2 months rent penalty?

Florida contract has a clause that basically is ' break it and pay 2 months or we will chase you to the very end'. one of the two. I personally tell them to find an equally qualified tenant.
